session. To be reminded, the OY party’s governing Board had made a
decision the day before about the party’s leaving the ruling
coalition, the resignation of the Parliament speaker Arthur
Baghdasaryan and recall of his ministers from the government. Ten
deputies-businessmen have left the OY faction for the last several
days. The Minister of City Planning Aram Haroutiunyan also announced

criticism of the 2001-2003 state property privatization program. It is
unknown yet what decisions the meeting participants made.
